Dads writing about kids' culture

For those of you new to family music, Fids & Kamily is a yearly poll that compiles the lists of the year’s favorite kids and family music. Music bloggers, radio hosts, etc. They keep letting me vote, so I keep voting. And a couple weeks ago they released the results.

Before we take a look at 2016, let’s take a look back at the last 10 years.

Bob Schneider, the ridiculously prolific singer-songwriter, is back with new record. However, this one is certainly not like any of his previous work. I Will Find You No Matter What features his 11 year old son Luc.

Schneider calls the project, “one of the most rewarding things I’ve had the pleasure to do since I began making music.” The album features songs the two began recording together when Luc was just four years-old. “It was a thing that just came very organically and with no agenda other than just to be creative with my son.”

I Will Find You No Matter What: The Songs of Luc & Bob Schneider will be released by Amazon on September 16.

Dadnabbit is proud to premiere the goofy, adorable and uniquely engaging “Robots.”

Amazon continues to provide cord cutting parents with smart, clever shows for their kids. With The Stinky & Dirty Show, they wisely hired the smart and clever troubadour Dan Bern to write the songs.

“The Stinky & Dirty Show soundtrack is a dream project for me,” Bern says. “I’ve always wanted to write songs for a cartoon, and my daughter loves the books. The scripts are terrific, the animation superb, and it’s a thrill to hear my songs in the show.”

This isn’t the first time Bern has written songs for families, releasing 2 Feet Tall in 2009. The show is based on the “I Stink!” book series. The cartoon features the voice work of Whoopi Goldberg, Jane Lynch, Andy Richter, Joan Cusack and Wallace Shawn.

Dadnabbit is proud to premiere the song “Let’s Get Dirty” and its crafty wordplay.

The soundtrack will be available for streaming on Prime Music in the U.S., U.K., Germany, Austria and Japan.
